Why subscribe to Techy Surgeon?

👋 Welcome! I’m Dr. Christian Péan—orthopedic trauma surgeon and CEO/co-founder of RevelAi Health.

Techy Surgeon is my working notebook on the future of care—where clinic, capital, code, and policy collide. This is also where I share candid build notes from RevelAi, including demos, data, and the playbooks we use to drive real care transformation with our care organization partners.

What you’ll get

  • Signal over hype: Evidence-based explainers that cut through the noise in AI, health tech, and policy.

  • How-tos that work: My “Techy Surgeon Teaches” series is focused on practical guides, frameworks, and playbooks you can lift directly into your workflow on AI and health policy.

  • From the front lines: First-hand lessons from building an AI health startup and scaling value-based care.

  • Curated briefs: The few signals each quarter—policy shifts, research, and product launches—that are worth your time.

Decoding AI, Health Tech & Policy for Clinicians & Builders

Why it’s different

Most coverage of AI and digital health either oversimplifies, veers into hype, or is written from the rafters rather than the trenches. I write from inside the system—as a surgeon, founder, and policy researcher—so each post blends clinical reality, policy nuance, and builder pragmatism. Think: clarity over clickbait, impact over buzzwords.
